PROCRIS. 
Procris, Fabricius, Illiger’s Magazine, vi. p. 289. 
Walker in his ‘ Catalogue’ places about twenty species in this genus, which appears 
to be very widely distributed. He only mentions one species from the Neotropical 
Region. 
1. Procris pusilla. 
Procris pusilla, Walk. Cat. i. p. 112*; Butl. Ill. Lep. Het. i. p. 14, t. 6. f. 1. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).—VENEZUELA 1. 
I have only received one specimen of this insect which it agrees fairly well with the 
type in the British Museum. 
2. Procris thyana, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 7.) 
Primaries and secondaries semitransparent black, with the costal and outer margins rather darker: the head, 
antenne, and legs black ; thorax and abdomen slightly glossy greenish black. Expanse ? inch. 
Hab. GuatemaLa, Quiche Mountains 9000 feet (Champion). 
Two specimens of this species were obtained by Mr. Champion. The specimen 
figured I believe to be the male. The female is rather larger and paler in colour. 
3. Procris forreri, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries uniform semitransparent sooty black: head, antenne, thorax, and abdomen deep 
black ; legs also black. Expanse 2 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Milpas 5900 feet (Forrer). 
This species is nearly allied to the preceding, from which it chiefly differs in its much 
smaller size and rather narrower primaries. Three examples were obtained. 
4. Procris thyesta, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 6.) 
Primaries and secondaries semitransparent black, the veins slightly greenish; antenne and front of the 
head black; the back of the head and front half of the thorax dark chrome-yellow ; abdomen and legs 
black. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Guaremaia, Duefias (Champion). 
This species is most nearly allied to P. thyana. 
TRIPROCRIS. 
Triprocris, French, Papilio, iii. p. 191. 
I have not found any other reference to the description of this genus, which I can 
only recognize from the species from Arizona, described by Mr. French as LT. martenit.
